Frequently Asked Questions

Why add turmeric to popcorn?

A pinch of turmeric gives the popcorn the golden colour of cinema popcorn. It doesn't change the taste at that amount.

Why are some kernels not popping?

Old or dry kernels pop poorly, and so do kernels on too low a heat. Keep the flame on medium and shake the pan so they heat evenly.
